One I can remember from years back was when I was shooting a neat little scratch built
.32 flintlock I built. Had a walnut iron mounted full stock. Gun didn't weigh more than 5 lbs. Guy came running over and conversation went like this:

"Where did you get that gun?"
"I built it."
"No way. I have to have that gun."
"It's not for sale."
"I'll give you anything for that gun."

He kept coming over and insisting I sell him that rifle so I said "OK, $1,500".

And he said "Uhhhhh, I'll have to think about it a little." And that was the end of the range lizard.
